They hung up the sign in town
If you live it up, you won't live it down
just like a bullet leaves a gun.
she went into that California trip.
She said, don't look back,
Oh, you've got to hold on,
Baby, you've got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here,
He gave her a dime store watch
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said, baby, I still love you
Sometimes there's nothing left to do
Oh, you've got to hold on,
Baby, you've got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here,
God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
And you burn your mansion
When there's nothing left
When you're falling behind
You've got to hold on, hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
Down by the Riverside Motel
It's ten below and fallen
By a ninety -nine cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
When your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head there's
Song called hold on, hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
